Professionals
The Local Authority, and therefore all professionals, have a responsibility to identify and support young carers and to help them access an assessment of their needs.
If you are a professional working with children and families, including within Health, Education or Social Care, we can offer support and training, free of charge:
- Input at meetings explaining how to identify and support young carers
- Staff training to be able to identify young carers and learn what support there is for them.
- School Assemblies
- Workshops for young people
- Representation at networks and awareness raising events
- Speakers at events
- INSET sessions
- Young Carers Champions programme
